The Kennedy Half Dollar by Mahree Moyle Review


An eclectic and unconventional true crime story.
How was Seely involved? The murder of, Mark, the son of a prominent lawyer, placed her right in the hands of the Hawaiian Mafia. She didn’t know Mark very well. Only small talk surfaced between them at a well-known nightclub in Waikiki where they worked.
Once she left Hawaii she thought it was over. But, long after the murder, the Mafia continued to follow her, knowing where she lived and worked.
For many years she tried to speculate her connection with this brutal crime. Finally, after thirty-three years, she was driven to face the truth about her association.
A compelling true story of Seely’s will and determination to find peace and harmony in her life. The road was untravelled and rugged, but she never lost the enthusiasm to go on.
Experience a heartwarming, tragicomedy, from the extreme highs to the devastating lows of life’s uncertain journey. Then ponder the idea of good luck charms and universal forces by opening your mind to wonder.
The author could not write this story without music. Her emotions are held in the song. This fascinating conte should be read with the background to fully understand the spirit in this work. It may take a few songs to comfortably connect the two, but once the music stops, it may seem strange to read in silence. This is an interesting and fun way to experience a read.

My Review:
I love a good crime thriller with characters that make me feel the same emotions that they are feeling throughout the book. The use of music and the beautiful and tropical Hawaii only added to the mystery. I really enjoyed reading about the different charms and how they and fate play a role in people's lives. I did not like the questions that were left open at the end of the book. However with every true story there is always more to do and more "evidence" to be found. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a review from LibraryThing and the author, however all opinions are my own.
